    <p>Can I recommend this book by Suzy Hansen subtitled An American

      Abroad in a Post American World. A description of what happens

      when an innocent white American woman discovers James Baldwin's

      writings and moves to Turkey, initially on a writing fellowship,

      but ten years later is still living there. There's a <a

        in the GuardianÂ  </a>Â  which introduced me to her. Now half way

      through the book and short of sleep as a result I encourage every

      one of you to read it. Worthy of informed discussion in this

      group, I think, and relevant to our general considerations.</p>
